Random Ramblings

I got an account @ AO3. I've been poking it and uploading a couple of things. And I realized the Doctor Who/Wall·E crossover doesn't have a title. I'll think of one one of this days.

It's nice that I just type 'ao3' in the address bar in Firefox and it redirects to the site. It's also quite nice that when I imported, AO3 took the data from the header of each entry and converted it to tags! The right tags even! It's like magic! /silly

And that reminded me: did you know fanfiction is a satanic ploy? I kid you not:

[Fan fiction] is not harmless entertainment but rather a satanic ploy to engage fans to use spiritual imagination (taboo in Scripture) to conjure and create their own reality, a central belief of witchcraft.

Granted, she's talking about Twilight thus maybe there's a grain of truth there, and I don't like Twilight, so I'm not going to defend it, but it's so painfully obvious this reviewer didn't even watch the movie it's hilarious. Except because the way she confuses fiction with reality is depressing.

Yet, I think my favorite bit is probably this one:

For centuries, vampires have been part of folklore and mythology, understood to be ugly, dark creatures of morbid horror, close to the dead, sometimes known as the undead for they claim eternal life and subsist by feeding on human blood, roam in darkness, avoid the light, and are enemies of the human race.

This repulsive concept was changed with the popularization of Bram Stoker’s famous 1897 novel about a fictionalized vampire Count Dracula, who was presented as an aristocrat Transylvanian nobleman. He was imbued with supernatural powers, superhuman capabilities and a lustful passion for beautiful ladies...

I was left with the impression that maybe I need to read Stocker's novel again, since I find that vampire rather repulsing as well. Intriguing yet repulsive. [Also, my inner Alucard is laughing nearly as much as when I found the Dracula pop-up book. The downsides of rping a trollerific vampire. :/]

To each their own, though.
